Bomber- Your thoughts on making the round of 4?I can almost taste the victory. It also feels like the super tournament is a bit closer.

- Was it hard to prepare for this game?He is not an unusual player (**plays standard), so it wasn’t too difficult.

- You were in a bit of a crisis (**contain) in the 1st set.I have had that kind of situation many times in practice. If that happens, most of the time, their units become spread out so I focused breaking out through one weak point.

- What was the meaning behind the ceremony after the 1st set?I was hoping that if I showed a ceremony after the 1st set, my opponent would lose confidence against me.

- How did you prepare for the 1st set?I designed my strategy to fit my opponent.

- Who do you want to face in the next round?Personally, I have practiced a lot with aLive previously so I hope that he advances.

- It seems that you are quickly rising through the ranks, any secrets to your success?I think I am practicing and preparing for matches well.

- Any last comments?I want to thank Sound and Virus for helping me practice. + Show Spoiler +

Ryung- Your thoughts on making the round of 4?I wanted to face MMA in a match but since he lost in the 1st match, that goal cannot be accomplished. I think I was able to win today because my opponent was a bit nervous.

- Did BoxeR ask anything of you because you were facing aLive? (*BoxeR lost to aLive in the round of 16)My build today was suggested by BoxeR. I think it went really well. In the 1st set, my opponent went a mech build so I had to improvise a bit. But recently, MMA told me of a strategy to beat mech so I was able to win because of that.

- You are the last player left for SlayerS, do you feel any pressure?I am going to try my hardest to take revenge for MMA (against Bomber).

- Do you have confidence in facing off against Bomber?I am even more confident for that match than for today’s match. Because I was able to beat him in the GSTL more easily than I thought.

- Your goal for this season?I want to take revenge for my teammates more so than to win code A. Because MMA has fallen, my goal has changed a bit.

- The SlayerS terran line has been showing good results lately.I think we have been a bit lucky. Within the team, I think the terran line is the weakest. But of course, I am sure the zerg and protoss players in the team may think otherwise.

- What do you think about the 1.3.3 patch?I think they are nerfing terran again. I think ever since the beginning of SC2, they have continuously been nerfing terran. I don’t think the balance is that bad right now, so I wish they would just leave it as it is.

- Why are you so obsessed with MMA? Personally, I feel like he is one of the best players in SC2. That is why I definitely want to beat him in a real match.

- Any last comments?I want to thank Lots and GanZi for helping me practice and BoxeR for suggesting my build. + Show Spoiler +

Mvp- Your thoughts on making the round of 4?I said before that the round of 8 was my goal. But since I am this far into the tournament, I want to win.

- Would you say that you are a code S player disguised as code A?Since it was my bad play that brought me down to code A, I feel like my skill level is still code A. When I get back into code S by winning in the up and down matches, then I will say that I truly belong in code S.

- Who do you want to face in the up and down matches?I haven’t seen everyone who is in the up and down matches. But if they matched me up against MKP or MC, I think it will be entertaining.

- If you win code A, you will get to choose your group. Who then?Of course, then, I will not pick a hard group. I feel like it is the victor’s right get an easy up and down match.

- The super tournament is quickly approaching.I am looking forward to it since it will have the largest tournament purse since in the Open seasons of GSL. I have more desire to win that tournament than the code S. Since I have secured my spot in the up and down matches, I want to do focus more on doing better in the super tournament than the rest of the code A matches.

- If you make it to the finals (of code A), who do you want to face?For the sake of practice, I want to face a terran. But I think a zerg should advance so we can stop hearing that terran is overpowered. (**he must not have looked at the brackets correctly)

- All the games today were long macro games, was that your intention?Because I was sick, I didn’t have much time for practice so my hands were a bit stiff, so my multitasking wasn’t too good. It’s not that I purposely wanted to go to the late game but it just happened that way since I was lacking in practice.

- Any last comments?I want to thank StarTale’s Tandongho and SlayerS’s Sleep for helping me practice. Also, I hope LosirA and Nestea play well in their code S matches. One of my friends Ki Suk will go into the military tomorrow so I hope he takes good care of himself in there. + Show Spoiler +

Keen- Your thoughts on making the round of 4?I was able to get revenge for my teammate Noblesse so I am happy.

- How did you prepare for your match?It wasn’t too specific, but I practiced 3 to 4 times more than usual.

- What aspect of your opponent’s play did you pry apart?He is someone I meet often on the ladder so I didn’t have to do anything special to prepare for this match.

- After that match, you drank some cider, what did that mean?I had both coke and cider on my desk. And by choosing to drink the cider, I meant that ‘coca’ wasn’t fit for ‘keen.’

- You are showing a new ceremony for every time you win.In SCBW, my role model was Firebathero. I think if I keep going, my ceremonies can become a role model for another person. I want to get to code S and do many more ceremonies. I think ceremonies can make the fans watch the games with more anticipation and joy.

- Your next opponent is Mvp.This time, it’s revenge for viOlet, so I will try my best.

- It is all terrans in the round of 4.Excluding me, everyone else is a big name player. I want to get over the tall mountain (that is Mvp) and make a name for myself. I think if I can beat Mvp I can win the tournament.

- What are your chances on beating Mvp?I would say in between 30 to 40 percent.

- If you win, you will have the chance to choose your up and down match group.If I get to choose, I want to pick the hardest player and the weakest player, and eliminate the weaker player then get into code S.

hahahahahaha that so figures. Thanks for the translation!

edit: beat me to it!

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

"2) Super Tournament (1 tournament a year in May)- Ro64 Full Tournament (Code S 32 + Code A 32)- Only tournament of the year when all the players from Code S and A compete against each other.- Same format as the GSL Pre-Season Tournaments. - Ro64 ~ Ro16 : best of 3, Ro8 ~ Semifinals : best of 5, Finals : best of 7"

It's basically the same format as the old GSL open season (64 man tourney) and I think it's back to the same prize pool as well from the first 3 seasons.

He's a really great guy. In my opinion easily Code A level, however he doesn't want to be a progamer since his job is fixing/selling computers and he loves that job. He rather play SC2 for fun rather than being forced to grind out games day after day. He is a ridiculously creative player and even helps out Nada every now and then on Terran (I met Nada on bnet through 컴박사홍흑형, also because of him I was able to watch KeenMvP practice for the games vs CoCa). He makes his own Terran style and continues to refine it for himself. He's probably been perfecting his thor build for the last 8 months

lol, i'll always remember this guy because his nick translates into something like DoctorComputerHongHeukHyung, so he always stood out when I used to look through the top 200 every week. sounds like a fun guy, too bad he doesn't want to be a progamer since it sounds like he has a really unique playstyle

I find it very strange that Ryung thinks the Slayers Terran line is the weakest. I didn't watch -all- of it, but it seems like Ryung and MMA did a lot of work in the GSTL... I know Min and Alicia were good too, but we're talking two Code S level Ts (I really think they both belong there) against one Code S P and a Code A Z.

Interesting that Ryung is looking for Bomber's blood after Bomber took out MMA. A recent interview of MMA revealed the Ryung and him had a sort of love/hate relationship going on and that Ryung didn't even practice with MMA because they were rivals. I suppose now that MMA is out, Ryung has "proven" that he is the better terran player in SlayerS.

Bomber for Code A king!

No he hasn't. He'd only prove that if he beats Bomber who took out MMA. And I don't see that happening.
